USC in good shape with defensive lineman

DL Earl Moore (6-2 280) of Tampa says USC and Florida State are his current top two. They have offered along with Georgia, South Florida, Southern Cal, Texas Tech, Miami and Florida.

Moore has not been on any visits but plans to take some this summer with USC and Southern Cal on his agenda.

Moore last talked with USC recruiter GA Mangus in early February. "They have a great head coach," Moore said of the Gamecocks. "It's a good program. Looks like they are going to be an effective team in the future."

Moore said he won't make a final decision until close to signing day next February.
